BTW @Mo1959 @welsh dragon
MrsD got home on Tuesday. Slept heavy that night. Got up at 0800 on Wednesday and her 1st question was........what are Mo and Welshie up to this morning ?
Does that mean she is getting better ??

Welsh Dragon, not a lot
Mo1959, still going out on her early morning walks. Though not as early.

Every time I look in here you’ve moved on another 50 pages
Twine, a subject up my street. There is a difference between baler twine and binder twine. Binder twine is Narrower than baler twine. I still have a roll of original jute binder twine in my garage. Bought it for 10 pence at a farm sale 36 years ago. The farm had nothing to sell newer than 1950!

It's got lighter over the years, I'll give you that. Ever use the "horse hair" cord?

This weather is so changeable. It's on and off with the winter bloomers. It's tiring having to remove them, then haul them back up again.

Another £25 win on the PB's for me this month. That makes a total of £100 in about 6 months for me. a hell of a lot better than getting £1.60 in interest over 12 months

Doing my best to try and get more sleep. Slightly better some nights.

It's still blooming cold up here. Just popped out to put rubbish in the bin and afraid the temperature isn't making me want to cycle. Oh well. Not too bothered. Quite happy to wait till it warms up a bit.

And your venture into the shares market, how's that doing.

I'll get another walk later. Cosy jacket and stride out and keep warm.

Miss Molly has the right idea.

We did not generally use bales in my day. My grandfather had a horse drawn binder which was for the croft and for corn anyway we still used stooks in the 1950,s. Hay was dried the traditional way and eventually put into the hay shed.
